Shinji IKARI

Shinji is the pilot of Evangelion Unit 01. Deeply disturbed, he often attempts to run from his problems. Despite this, he has unusually high synch rates with Unit 01, even when he is forced to pilot it with no previous training. Shinji's mother died when he was very young, leaving him with his father, Gendo Ikari. Due to feelings of abandonment as a young child and Gendo's very cold demeanor, Shinji feels a certain amount of malice towards his dad. Fighting his inner demons, he also is very impacted by Gendo's occasional praise and continually seeks his acceptance.

The hate for him makes no sense like it's a psychological show go watch a different mecha if you want a generic protag

I first watched EVA when I was his age and in a similar mental state. Now I have to live knowing that I am an unironic shinnie. I don't mind to much though, I will defend this kid through thick and thin from annoying people (except for the hospital scene).
